Thanks for adding me!
« on: August 19, 2025, 03:32:14 »
I’ve owned my 2004 DL1000 for, well 21 years. It has been a great bike with really no problems except the rotor magnets coming loose, which I epoxied back in place. Probably will keep it for ever. I’m from California and I found this forum recently. Thought I would see if I could join as a Yank and I got excepted. I was station at RAF Upper Heyford for 2 years in the 80’s. maybe that counts a little. Looking forward to learning stuff about the VStrom from my UK fellow riders. Thanks, Dave

2004 DL650 here and I have also had mine from new.

All the members here are jealous of the Silver Frame as they have to put up with the cheap black ones.

We have many American members and people from all over the world now.

Welcome. Upper Heyford? Visited there a few times between 1982 and 1984 whilst in the Army stationed at Long Marston (near Stratford-upon-Avon).👍
